Better Seeing

After several nights of poor seeing, it was nice to find it improving for a change. Before clouds ended my session I had some reasonably stable periods but as is the case so far, Mars still refuses to cooperate in showing much detail. I have given a comparison of photographing Mars and an orange to show the orange is still more interesting to look at.

Saturn and Mars were shot through my 8 inch Newt, eyepiece projection using the Canon 550d, movie crop mode.

Orange was shot with a 18-55mm Canon lens at f5.6 400iso 1.5 seconds with the same Canon 550d in a very dark room illuminated by a torch.
